On Tuesday night, we took Kelley and Shannon out on the lake for an evening of fishing. While Kelley had done this many times as a child, this was Shannon's first attempt at salmon fishing. While it was over 90 degrees and humid at home, it was absolutely beautiful on the water. We talked, relaxed, enjoyed the surroundings, but mostly really hoped that Shannon would hook into a big king. We got our wish... after a while the rod went off and line was screaming from it. Scott handed the rod to Shannon and the fight was on. 
We weren't sure who was going to win for a while, but Shannon landed what he called the biggest fish he had ever seen in his whole life. It was about a 15 pound king with a large lamprey attached to its side.
Scott unhooked the fish and removed the lamprey with pliers. After a few pictures, it was time to dispose of the lamprey. It wiggled free of the pliers and started flopping around on the floor of the boat. Before we knew it, Shannon was perched up on the side of the boat while Kelley and I laughed hysterically.
It was a lot of fun, and Shannon can't wait to get back out.
